Tooltip handling in LeightweightSystem (Draw2D) [message #213095]

Hi all,

by default, the tooltip popup handling in Draw2D is done by a
ToolTipHelper class which starts a timer that will close the tooltip
popup automatically after (I think) 21 seconds. Now, how can i disable
this behaviour so that the tooltip popup remains untill mouse moved?

As far as I could see, this would require to subclass the
SWTEventDispatcher for the LeightweightSystem which initializes the
ToolTipHelper, but this is core Draw2D code....so is there any
'workaround' or 'fake' to achieve this easier??

Thx & regards
